Lake Titicaca


We'd opted for a guided tour of the lake and a few off the islands with in it so we joined our group and boarded or barely swarthy vessel and headed towards the floating Uros islands made entirely of reads. Each island holds a a few families although if there's any disputes they just cut the islands in half and go join someone else's.
We then jumped back on the boat to head to Amanti island to stay with
a local family. We arrived at our house to meet the family and were greater my Maria 1 of 7 children, the mother and father and then Grandpa who turned out to be 100 and spent most of his days sleeping in random places. All meals were cooked over an open fire and mainly consisted of a lot of potatoes. A fiesta had been organised for the evening so we donned are ponchos and parties away to the panpipe band.Another early start and more pancakes before heading to isla tranquille for an explore before heading back to Puno.
